One of the most important components of a harvester is the crane. Most harvester cranes are only possible to pivot (or horizontally rotate) at the crane pillar. Cranab in Vindeln, Sweden, has developed a new type of harvester crane which has an extra pivot point on the outer boom. This makes it possible to reach around residual trees, easing thinning work in dense stands. The aim of the study was to analyze if the use of a pivoting outer boom (POB) crane gave an increase in thinning production and if there were any differences in time consumption between the work elements for the POB crane and a conventional crane. A Valmet 911.3 equipped with a POB crane was used in the study.

Alnarp?s Healing Garden is a place for rehabilitation as well as an ongoing multidisciplinary scientific research experiment. The garden is built on research results from the disciplines of Landscape architecture, Environmental Psychology and Garden Therapy.

Theories show that water as an element, per se, increases the observer?s preference for an environment.

This paper aims to increase the knowledge about the relationship between football and social sustainability by investigating football as means of crime prevention. In recent times, Sweden has faced a situation where there is an increased level of young people involved in criminal activity. The government has formulated various strategies to deal with the situation and a specific part of civil society that has been given a prominent role within the crime prevention strategy are football associations in socio-economically vulnerable areas. This study therefore examines football coaches' experiences of using football as a crime prevention measure in socioeconomic vulnerable areas. The data has been collected by qualitative interviews with three football coaches.

Bakgrund Svenska livsmedelsverket (SLV) har utarbetat fem kostra?d fo?r att fra?mja en ha?lsosam kostha?llning. Kostra?den innefattar rekommendationer ga?llande frukt och gro?nt, fullkorn, nyckelha?lsma?rkningen, fisk samt olja och flytande margarin. Tidigare underso?kningar tyder pa? att kostra?den inte fo?ljs i tillra?cklig utstra?ckning.Syfte Studiens syfte var att underso?ka vuxna individers ka?nnedom, upplevda fo?ljsamhet och attityder gentemot SLVs fem kostra?d.

Studiens syfte ?r att unders?ka elevassistenters erfarenhet av- och reflektioner kring den undervisningsroll de har, och deras syn p? det l?rande som sker p? fritidshem knutna till grunds?rskolan. Studiens fr?gest?llningar vill granska hur n?gra elevassistenter beskriver att de utf?r undervisning p? fritidshem kopplat till l?roplanens undervisningsm?l f?r fritidshem och p? vilka s?tt de f?r v?gledning i arbetet med undervisningen. Studien utg?r fr?n Deweys teorier om intresse som central best?ndsdel i elevers l?rande, och socialt samspel som betydelseb?rare i undervisningen. ?ven Wengers teori kring praktikge- menskap finns med som belyser hur en grupp individer skapar och formar den praktik de ?r en del av.

Studien belyser begreppet tal?ngslan, som ?r en generell obehagsk?nsla av att tala inf?r andra. Av olika anledningar finns det barn i f?rskolan som befinner sig i tal?ngslan och har behov av s?rskilt st?d i sin kommunikation. Tal?ngslan hos ett barn kan f?rekomma b?de i stora och sm? grupper, samt i vardagliga samtal med andra. F?r att f? en vidare f?rst?else f?r inneb?rden av tal?ngslan beskrivs fenomenet i relation till blyghet och selektiv mutism som ocks? ?r tv? kommunikationsrelaterade tillst?nd. Studiens syfte ?r att synligg?ra hur tal?ngslan hos barn i f?rskolan beskrivs av f?rskoll?rare, specialpedagoger och psykologer.

This paper deals with the question of whether the symbolic language of the late Neolithic and middle Bronze Age was transferred from ceremonial monuments and barrows into the domestic sphere in the late Bronze Age. I will consider such elements as doorway orientation, the significance of boundaries and depositional practices to see if Early-Middle Iron Age settlements were indeed a major scene for ritual behaviour..

This essay is about Late Iron Age settlement and its production. I want to define the nature ofthree different workplaces on Bornholm, Denmark, and compare them. My aim is to see if itis possible to define a workplace through the traces of the craftsmanship. Several materials areselected in this essay and the analysis provides different perspective on workplaces in the LateIron Age in Scandinavia. The results of the analysis between the three workplacesAgerbygård, Baggård and Kanonhøj shows that Baggård have more traces of melting of bronsthan any other of the places.

This essay aims to investigate a rare method of marking up timber before hewing it. The method for marking up timber is by eyesight, where visual judgment and the use of a broad axe are the tools employed. The broad axe is driven through the bark and exposes the inner bark in a straight line. The method is described by a craftsperson dating back to the 1930s. There is a lack of information regarding the method.

When implementing syncronous filters with global clock nets, a substantial amount of energy is consumed in the clock net. Hence, it is interesting to reduce the size of the clock net, which in turn will reduce the total energy consumption. One way to acheive this, is to create a SIC (Structured Interfacing of Computational elements) since such a structure can be created without a global clock net. Our results show that a fifth order wavedigital filter with a sample rate of at least 10M samples/sec may be achieved.

Since Internet has become a more important and more certain source of information the user require greater and more demands than ever before on the layout and function of different web pages. When search engines gives us the opportunity to millions of hits in just a fraction of a second it?s essential to optimize the structure and architecture, which forms the foundations of all the content. In a time when a company?s digital footprint plays an important role for the costumer and the transmitter it?s of utmost importance to have a steady, well-structured foundation to build new platforms of information on.But how do you manage to build a good foundation? Some of the most important key elements in Information architecture are Organizing, Navigation, Search and Labeling.The aim of this study was to create guidelines for a user-friendlier interface, by analyzing the principals and gathered data.

In a dynamic and unpredictable reality, either rigid structures or silo architectures areappropriate ways to organize an agile organization. This thesis enlightens these relationsbetween Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and an organization who acts in a varied andconstantly changing business environment. In other words, this thesis enlightens the question:?How suitable is SOA to organize the enterprise who will meet a constantly changing andheterogenic business environment?.The thesis presents a model where an efficient organization must be agile to be able to actquickly in the business environments with constantly changing desires, needs, expectations,desires etc. According to the same model a Service Oriented Architecture organizes theenterprise elements such as processes, resources, competences, responsibilities, informationsystems etc.

This thesis means to find out how preschool teachers are working to demonstrate the importance of recycling and reuse for children. My hope is to contribute knowledge about various practical methods to establish the idea of sustainable development in the operation. I have used the method of qualitative research and done semi-structured interviews with preschool teachers on certified green flag preschools. The questions I have asked for example concerned how the preschool teachers have worked with recycling and reuse, how much the children have been able to influence and if other didactic subjects are implicated. Six interviews were made and these are summarized in the result part.
